¨ Money is a medium of
exchange. This is its primary function, but not the only function.
¨ The essential value of money
is it is an ORGANISATION. It organises the various
powers of the society with itself as the centre.
¨ The centre of life is MAN
and not MONEY, but money has usurped that power and man is a
willing tool it its hands which is his own creation.
¨ Every new organisation when
it comes into existence integrates with every existing organisation in time,
but without fail.
¨ Money too does so.
¨ Money by itself is of value,
but the government, having taken upon itself the duty of issuing the money, has
integrated itself with money and endowed it with social power.
¨ By integration, I mean,
money enters a field like education and enables the field to function more
freely and efficiently and in that process gives its own stamp to that field
which may often mean that field can no longer function without money.
¨ Integration with any field
or organisation makes the newly born organisation more powerful which is true
of money too.
¨ Money has been inextricably
integrated with every existing organisation such as family, community,
education, army, government, transport and communication, sports, tourism,
banking, trade, etc.
¨ As a result money is now
many times more powerful than when it was born as a medium of exchange, which
means the quantity of money has increased since its creation as well as its
power of utility has enormously increased.
¨ Money moves. Its movement
energises it or we can say money integrates with Time. The faster the money
moves, the more it grows in its MONEY VALUE.
¨ As the money moves, it
multiplies, i.e. it earns more money.
¨ A lakh of rupees in the
closet or bank will remain so forever.
¨ When it goes out and travels
for a month it returns with a little more than a lakh as interest accrues.
¨ When it passes through 3 or
4 hands or 30 or 40 hands each person through the trade it generates earns a
little for himself.
¨ The faster it moves, the
more it grows. The more hands through which the money passes, the greater it
earns for itself.
¨ Products of low value earn
low profits. Higher products earn more. Physical service earns less.
Professional service earns more.
¨ The value of money rises or increases with its speed of movement, the
cost of products, the quality of service.
¨ The increasing value of
money is more easily seen in trade than in other places. But its value rises
without fail through every single transaction.
¨ So, the level of
consciousness through which money passes decides its increasing value.
¨ Man created money, but
mentally he is a slave to it.
¨ One who does not value a
thing, here money, can possess it while he who values money is possessed by it.
¨ The highest medium through
which money can pass for the highest growth is the consciousness of man who is
not possessed by money.
¨ People are slaves of money
by their upbringing or by a mental choice in which case their consciousness
itself is possessed by money.
¨ The outflow of money
naturally decides the inflow.
¨ The Greater is the outflow,
the greater is the inflow, i.e. the income.
¨ One who is not possessed by
money freely spending the money fast through the highest medium existing is one
who will multiply his money fastest.
¨ The highest consciousness man
knows in Mother’s consciousness.
¨ The question is how to
integrate money with Her consciousness.
¨ A consciousness expresses
itself through its values, its own strategies, its own skills and capacities
and NOT through other values, other skills and other strategies
or capacities.
¨ This means all that is inimical or outside Her consciousness must be
given up in toto. To remove them is the first step.
¨ Mother’s values, skills, and
capacities are those of the Spiritual determinants.
¨ We act all the time. Any act
is done by values and skills.
¨ One who expresses his
consciousness in any act through the values, skills, etc. of Mother’s
consciousness is in Her consciousness.
¨ Should he earn money, money integrates with Her consciousness.
¨ The token act I speak of is
any act we choose, not necessarily a special act. The choice is necessary as it
is not possible for us to convert our whole consciousness into Hers, but a
part, isolated from life, can serve that purpose more readily or more easily.
¨ Money earned in this token
act is money integrated with Mother’s consciousness which can multiply
infinitely.
¨ Again as Man is the centre and not money, his own view determines the
result. When he emphasizes the result, he gets the result and misses the
process. He must learn the process.
¨ In fact, it is not the
process but the essentiality of the process – the Absolute – that matters. If
one can go there it is good, but it is obvious he cannot go to the result
disregarding the process.
¨ The token act in Her
consciousness is one that can occupy the whole life of a person. It will be
right that from the token act, one should change his whole life to Her
consciousness.
¨ The token act will enable him see Her in the act.
